Horrible Story

I am sickened by this story and upset with the foster parents. I live in the city and the only area at the beach that allows dogs off leash is not near the dunes. And as a long time manager of a boarding and training kennel I do not agree with people who let puppies off leash in unenclosed areas. This did not have to happen.

Bay City NewsSAN FRANCISCO -- Authorities are offering a $6,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of whoever is responsible for stabbing a three-legged puppy to death in San Francisco.

A reward for information about the stabbing death of a pit bull puppy that disappeared at San Francisco's Ocean Beach last week has been increased to $6,000.
The San Rafael-based group In Defense of Animals announced today it has chipped in $1,000 to the fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the killing of 7-month-old Pogo, a brindle pit bull puppy who disappeared from the beach July 22.

"Anybody who could be so brutal to an innocent puppy is a danger to society," said Katz. "People who harm animals are usually just warming up."
Pogo had been given to a foster parent by an animal shelter, but disappeared from its owner after running behind a sand dune at sunset that afternoon at Ocean Beach.
A week later, on Tuesday morning, Pogo's body was found stabbed to death and dumped in the Bayview District, according to San Francisco Animal Care and Control officials.
Pogo had a rear leg amputated by a veterinarian due to a genetic defect. He weighed about 40 pounds and had white around the nose. He was wearing a red collar.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Animal Care and Control at (415) 554-9400.
The reward for any information leading to an arrest has jumped from $2,000 to $6,000.
